Wall mounted air conditioner

Abstract

Disclosed herewith is a wall mounted air conditioner. The air conditioner comprises an air conditioner body installed in an installation space of a building and provided with an exhaust hole on its top. A frame is situated in the installation space for guiding the installation and removal of the air conditioner body. A connecting duct is fitted into the air conditioner body and the frame to connect the exhaust hole of the air conditioner body to a duct mounted in the building when the air conditioner body is moved into the installation space. The wall mounted air conditioner can be easily moved into an installation space for installation and easily removed from the installation space for repair or replacement.

       3. The wall mounted air conditioner according to  claim 2 , wherein said first and second extended portions are each provided with a sealing member to maintain air-tightness therebetween. 
     
     
       4. The wall mounted air conditioner according to  claim 2 , wherein said first and second connecting duct parts each have a circular cross-section. 
     
     
       5. The wall mounted air conditioner according to  claim 2 , wherein the first half of one of said first and second connecting duct parts has an inner diameter identical with the outer diameter of the remaining connecting duct part, while the second half has an outer diameter identical with the inner diameter of the remaining connecting duct part. 
     
     
       6. The wall mounted air conditioner according to  claim 2 , wherein said first and second connecting duct parts are each provided with connecting projections and connecting recesses respectively to ensure the connection therebetween. 
     
     
       7. The wall mounted air conditioner according to  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of upper rails, said upper rails being formed on the bottom of said air conditioner body to correspond to the lower rails of said frame, said upper and lower rails being provided with longitudinal guide projections that are engaged with each other to prevent said air conditioner body from being displaced laterally during the movement of said air conditioner body. 
     
     
       8. A wall mounted air conditioner, comprising: 
       an air conditioner body having an exhaust hole;  
       a frame having a hollow inside accommodating said air conditioner body, rails arranged to guide said air conditioner body slidably inserted into said hollow inside from an outside of said frame, a plate coupled to and spaced-apart from said rails, and a first connecting duct formed on said plate and extended toward said hollow inside; and  
       a second connecting duct upwardly extended from a side defining said exhaust hole of said air conditioner body, mating with said first connecting duct when said air conditioner body is inserted into said hollow inside along said rails.  
     
     
       9. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 8 , further comprising a first extension extended from said first connecting duct, said first extension covering a portion of said second connecting duct when said first connecting duct is connected to said second connecting duct. 
     
     
       10. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 9 , with said first connecting duct comprising a first half duct and a second half duct coupled to said first half duct, said first half duct having a first radius greater than a second radius of said second half duct, said first extension extended from said first half duct. 
     
     
       11. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 9 , further comprising: 
       a projection formed on said first extension; and  
       a recess formed on said second connecting duct, said projection inserted into said recess when said first connecting duct is coupled to said second connecting duct.  
     
     
       12. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 8 , further comprising a second extension extended from said second connecting duct, said second extension covering a portion of said first connecting duct when said first connecting duct connected to said second connecting duct in response to the insertion of said air conditioner body into said hollow inside of said frame. 
     
     
       13. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 12 , with said second connecting duct having the same radius as a portion of said first connecting duct. 
     
     
       14. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
       a first extension extended from said first connecting duct; and  
       a second extension extended from said second connecting duct, disposed in a diametric opposition of said first extension when said first connecting duct is coupled to said second connecting duct.  
     
     
       15. The wall mounted air conditioner of  claim 14 , said first extension covering a portion of an outer circumferential surface of said second connecting duct while said second extension covers a portion of an outer circumferential surface of said first connecting duct.
